The Phoenix Pavilion, a gift by Japan to the City of Chicago from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, significantly inspired and influenced the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. To commemorate the 120th anniversary of this gift, 120 cherry trees were planted in Jackson Park in 2013. This work has expanded to include the complete revitalization of Jackson Park, including ecological restoration, the historic Fredrick Law Olmsted plans, a new work by Yoko Ono on the Wooded Island, an expanded Japanese Garden and a new Music Pavilion and visitor center by wHY on the historic music court. The spirit of the project is driven by the ideals that inspired Frank Lloyd Wright as well as the future of the city, as nature.
